**West Ham United seemingly have escaped the international injury scare with only a scratch on the surface being caused, despite the mass amount of players who went away.**
Hammers fans had to read a few scares yesterday with the April Fool’s stories running around, hopefully, many hearts didn’t skip a beat upon reading some of the creative reports. The good news is that the majority of West Ham players are set to return unharmed, bar two players.
Those being Wan-Bissaka and Konstantinos Mavropanos, with Mavro’s being a point of concern.
Wan-Bissaka was seen struggling with hurtful cramp as Congo were forced to endure 120 minutes of an intense match against Jamaica, the winner, eventually Congo, meaning a place in the World Cup was secured by themselves.
Whilst cramp isn’t anything serious, you’d imagine that the Congolese defender won’t take part against Leeds United on Sunday, given that he would only have had a few days rest and a fully fit, eager to play Walker-Peters is available to be used.
The worrying injury of concern would be Konstantinos Mavropanos, who exited the field for Greece when playing in their first friendly with a head injury. The medical team then seemingly decided he would not compete in the game afterwards either.
No injury update has been offered on Mavropanos, though you would presume he potentially could be out for the game against Leeds. The Greek international has taken a fair few blows to the head in recent weeks, and that Haaland strike certainly brings up a vivid image!
Even if Mavropanos isn’t available for Leeds United in the FA Cup, you’d suspect it wouldn’t be too concerning to Nuno, who fortunately has the French duo of Todibo and Disasi available to him. A duo who have worked wonders previously for the Hammers.
Elsewhere, no other injuries have been accumulated, and everyone, on the eye, is expected to return and be available for the final seven Premier League matches, where they’ll all have to soak up the task of keeping the Hammers in the top flight.
